Beer of the Weekend #1,114: Richter’s Pilsner
The beer of the weekend is another brew I brought back from my trip to the Yellowhammer State: Richter’s Pilsner, brewed by Goat Island Craft Brewing of Cullman, Alabama.
Serving type: 12-ounce can. Something is printed on the bottom edge but it is indiscernible.
Appearance: Poured into a pilsner glass. The color is light gold. Bubbly, buttery, billowy white head settles slowly and leaves short trails.
Smell: Sharp grass is noticeable from an arm’s length. A whole lot of malty goodness. Earthy hops, lemon zest. Very aromatic and potent. It smells like a brewery.
Taste: Sharp and grassy. Very good and very sharp. Malt, grass, earthy hops, zest. It is pilsner on steroids. Good but a touch overwhelming at times. It is one of the best pilsners I have ever had.
Fun facts about Richter’s Pilsner:
• Style: Pilsner.
• Price: $11.19 for a sixer of 12-ounce cans at Ship and Shore in Dauphin Island, Alabama.
• Alcohol content: 5.6 percent ABV.
• IBU: 30.
• Color: 3.4 L.
• Here is some cool history about the beer via the can:
That’s cool! It definitely tastes like old-style beer.
The Quiet Man’s grade: A+.

A local merchant found a hand written beer recipe in the attic of his old downtown building in Cullman. The recipe was found with other personal items of William Frederick Richter, who owned Richter’s Saloon in the late 1800’s [sic]. The mixture of English and Old German was eventually translated and resurrected, and now it is our flagship beer!
That’s cool! It definitely tastes like old-style beer.
The Quiet Man’s grade: A+.
